you mentioned president obama might be amenable to it but how about house and senate democrats? guest: you had congressman larson on here and you heard what he said about including social security in these talks. that is a common belief and opinion among democrats on the hill. in both the senate and the house. that that would be very hard to sell. one of the things i've been seeing ever since these talks have started, there's been a lot of focus on whether republicans would agree to raising these tax rates. if they ever did, you know, what gets lost in that discussion is what would democrats have to give up? and presumably republicans would want some deep cuts into entitlement programs. it's not clear that democrats will be onboard with that. i think senator harry reid, the majority leader in the senate, has said that social security should not be a part of this. so has nancy pelosi, the democratic leader in the house. host: the cost of living adjustment in social security, does that change depending on where you live in the country? if you live in a more or less expensive area?
